Decades after the end of the cold war, the drive to build nuclear weapons by some governments continues, energized in no small part by the policies of the U.S. government. The awful power of nuclear weapons indiscriminately threatens all people.

Below you can find 11 key senators who hold much power in the U.S. government when it comes to nuclear weapons.
